Adidas road shoes

[Fujichants]

Does anybody know how their shoes fit? I'm in love with their Karma '08 road shoes, but I can only seem to find them online, as no bike shop near me carries them. I wear a size 41 in my Sidi's. I tried the Specialized BG Torch Road shoe over the weekend and their size 41 fit me a little tight. Well the left shoe fit well, the right shoe, my toe was hitting the front on the inside. I know that different models from the same brand fit differently as well. I guess I could always buy them and return them if they don't fit, but I figured i'd ask some of you girls on here first.

I don't know how helpful this will be, as these are my first and only pair of road shoes so far... but mine fit a little roomy. I wear a size 6 street shoe, and my LBS ordered them as small as they go. I find them comfortable, though, so I think you should just go for it if they allow returns.

They are super-cute in person. The white leather is actually iridescent with purple!

Cheryl, are they on the same last as Adidas running shoes? Or do they fit the same, anyway?


eta: if you go to Adidas' website, they say NOTHING about cycling

I just wanted to see if the ratchet straps and buckles were replaceable (kind of doesn't look like it from the picture). They're nearly worn out on my Torch shoes after 3,000 miles (and they are replaceable).

I think they have more of an arch compared to an Adidas running shoe, and more of a narrow fit. Looking at my shoes, I don't think the ratchet system could be replaced.

Yes, I've visited their website and it's crazy! It's so massive you can't find anything, and I couldn't find any cycling products.

Yes it is hard to get to Adidas cycling - and by the way I think their cycling department is being merged with Mavic or something in the near future so not sure what will happen to their products.
Anyway Adidas cycling website is here:
